Ninety metres above sea level, on Le Rocher, is the Musée Oceanographique, the world oldest aquarium. Commissioned by Prince Albert I and opened in 1910, the Musée Oceanographique is known around the world for its exhibits on oceanography and marine science. Several discoveries of Jacques-Yves Cousteau are on display. But the real highlights are the rare species you’ll find in all sizes, shapes, and colours. There are three aquariums with over 6,000 specimens in 100 pools. You’ll love Turtle Island and the Touch Tank, where you can discover for yourself what a sea urchin feels like or even hold a baby shark. The latest instalment is the Shark Lagoon, which measures about 450 cubic metres where you can see the most extraordinary colours of the coral reef and the many creatures that live there. After you’ve been through the exhibits and the museum, enjoy a superb meal at rooftop restaurant and take in the coastline below.

The Stade Louis II (French pronunciation: [stad(ə) lwi dø]) is a stadium located in the Fontvieille district of Monaco. It serves primarily as a venue for football, being the home of AS Monaco and the Monaco national football team. The stadium is most notable for its distinctive nine arches at the away end of the ground.[2] The arena is also used for the Herculis, a track and field meet of the Diamond League. The stadium hosted the 1986 and 1998–2012 UEFA Super Cup matches.[3] Due to Monaco's small size, the stadium is the only football and athletics stadium in the country.

The oldest monarchy in the world calls The Palais du Prince home. Established in 1297 by the Genoese family of Grimaldi, the site was chosen for its location high above sea level on the lovely peninsula of Le Rocher. It was originally built in the 13th century as a strong defensive fortress. From generation to generation, the palace has been transformed into what it is today: a magnificent palace in the style of Louis XIV. Visitors can tour the State Apartments when the royal family is away. Inside you’ll find an Italiante gallery with 15th century frescoes, the wood panelled Mazarin Room, the Blue Room, which is covered in blue and gold, and the Throne Room with its oversized Renaissance fireplace. Each day at 11:55am the traditional Changing of the Guard takes place at the palace gate.
